Key Points From the Interview
oday's guest brings a broad perspective to entrepreneurship through acquisition.
He didn't arrive here by reading Walker Deibel's book or taking an ETA class in business school.
Instead, Adam Markley was a partner in an education venture that taught people how to buy a business.
The venture had a big UK focus, so it didn't revolve around SBA financing.
This steeped Adam in an approach where heavy seller financing & more creative structures to buy a business was more common.
It also gave Adam lots & lots of reps looking at deals, as he would help evaluate the acquisitions of the members in this community.
Flash forward, and today Adam has been involved in many of his own acquisitions, and his personal holding company here in the States includes 5 businesses he either fully or partially acquired, and 1 he's started from scratch.
Another theme to listen for in this interview is how Adam works with operating partners, a feature that is present in almost all his holdings.
Here is Adam Markley, founder of PROX Capital Group.
